Abstract

Provided is a convenient container cap which can be integrally molded from synthetic resin material, and comprises a primary cap (22) adapted to be fitted on an opening of a container and provided with an outlet opening (24) in a top wall (23) thereof, and a secondary cap (26) attached to the primary cap (22) with a reversible hinge (29) and provided with a plug member (25) adapted to be fitted into the outlet opening (24) of the primary cap (22). A slide member (35) is also integrally attached to the primary cap (22) for enabling to open the secondary cap (26) with a single hand, without increasing the number of component parts or complicating the assembling process. <IMAGE>
